Well, yeah, it is another strange coincidence

Moreover, is it not a compelling coincidence that the formation of an Iraqi war crimes tribunal preceded his capture by only a week?  article

I need to look up the date of that tribunal formation. Perhaps I should keep an ongoing list of strange coincidences. I've set them out here and there in various blogs, which are listed at the bottom of this page. But one of these days, maybe I'll go through and make a running list. Maybe.

Finally, that Saddam Hussein will be charged with war crimes and genocide is staggeringly disingenuous. While Hussein is undeniably a criminal, it is the United States that has destroyed Iraq and killed 2 million of its people with genocidal sanctions. It is the United States that has flagrantly violated international law in pursuit of regime change in Iraq, and it is the United States that bears full responsibility for bringing Hussein to power.
